Adler (surname)
Adler is a surname of German origin meaning ''eagle.'' and has a frequency in the United Kingdom of less than 0.004%, and of 0.008% in the United States. In Christian iconography, the eagle is the symbol of John the Evangelist, and as such a stylized eagle was commonly used as a house sign/totem in German speaking areas. From the tenement the term easily moved to its inhabitants, particularly to those having only one name.

Adler-32
Adler-32 is a checksum algorithm written by Mark Adler in 1995, modifying Fletcher's checksum. Compared to a cyclic redundancy check of the same length, it trades reliability for speed (preferring the latter). Adler-32 is more reliable than Fletcher-16, and slightly less reliable than Fletcher-32. History The Adler-32 checksum is part of the widely used zlib compression library, as both were developed by Mark Adler. A "rolling checksum" version of Adler-32 is used in the rsync utility. Calculation An Adler-32 checksum is obtained by calculating two 16-bit checksums ''A'' and ''B'' and concatenating their bits into a 32-bit integer. ''A'' is the sum of all bytes in the stream plus one, and ''B'' is the sum of the individual values of ''A'' from each step. At the beginning of an Adler-32 run, ''A'' is initialized to 1, ''B'' to 0. The sums are done modular arithmetic, modulo 65521 (the largest prime number smaller than 216). The bytes are stored in network order (endianness, big ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
